Since Microsoft has enhanced the functionality of the Windows 10 Settings panel that now opens by simply clicking on the Win + I keys at the same time, with the Windows 10 v1803, you might no longer have to open the Task Manager to close any apps that are not responding as you can close any preinstalled system apps directly from the Windows 10 Settings panel.
For a long time, users have utilized the Task Manager when they’re having a hard time closing some unresponsive program. In addition, the Task Manager is definitely the go-to tool you can use to kill any process that are “Not Responding” or if you just want to close a particular app. And now with Microsoft adding up a new option in the Windows 10 Settings that can close any preinstalled apps in just a matter of moments. So if you want to test out or try this feature, here’s how:
Step 1: Open the Windows 10 Settings panel and go to Apps > Apps & features.
Step 2: Now on your right-hand side, you should be able to locate all the apps that are shipped along with the Windows installation. Look for the app you want to close and click on the Advanced options.

Step 3:  Before Windows 10 v1803, there was only one option called “Reset” but now you can see an option called “Terminate” – click this option so you can close the app right away. Note that you won’t get any notification of closing that app as well as its related processes as they will be terminated right away.
